I got my invite to the Perfect Game Academic Showcase yesterday, and my interest in going is only stopped by the steep price for me and my family. I have definetly decided to try and discount my trip as much as possible by looking for local sponsors. The only question is, how should I write a letter to a local business asking for money of any amount? Finding a flight shouldn't be a big deal after I find out if I can go or not, but another problem is finding a hotel for the two days, espeically since both of my parents cannot get out of work to attend. I'm clueless as to finding an asnwer to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm extremely interested in attending this showcase opposed to an entry level event as I feel this one would be much more productive in getting looks from others.
